So when they dig into this small, unassuming mound, one among dozens of larger ones in the Cohokia complex just east of St. Louis, they found a young man and woman, side by side. How sweet! Then they found four makes, their hands and heads cut off. Oh. Then they found fifty-three young females, piled in two stacks. Uh oh. And they only looked at part of the mound. #cohokia #humansacrifice #indianmounds #americanhistory #buriel #illinois https://www.instagram.com/p/CD84cuIFHTq/?igshid=183686ax06pck

Did you know that six hundred or so years ago Indians built a city near modern-day St. Louis? Not a village, a city. Did you know that numerous human sacrifice remains have been found there? Cohokia isn’t a very cool place. #cohokia #indianmounds #indians #missouri #stlouis https://www.instagram.com/p/CD754AxFpg5/?igshid=ohskc1nkncuj
